Job Overview

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to design and build the secure, compliant AWS foundation for a production healthcare AI platform, then stay on in an advisory and engineering capacity as it grows.

This is a hands-on, build-it-yourself role. You will take high-level solution designs and turn them into production infrastructure, Terraform, and Bitbucket CI/CD, largely on your own, as part of a small senior team of software engineers, AI engineers, architects, and QA.

What you will do

- Design and build the AWS cloud foundation for a production healthcare platform, from solution design through to go-live.
- Deliver the infrastructure as code in Terraform, and set standards the team can reuse as the platform grows.
- Put in place the security and compliance controls a healthcare platform needs, and keep them auditable.
- Build CI/CD in Bitbucket Pipelines for the platform's frontend applications and backend services, so teams can release independently and safely.
- Set up monitoring, alerting, and observability, and prepare the platform for incidents, backup, and disaster recovery.
- Keep the platform reliable, performant, and cost-efficient.
- Review architectures and deployments for cloud readiness and security, and guide the team on DevOps practice.

Must have

- 8+ years of hands-on DevOps or cloud engineering experience.
- 5+ years designing and running AWS production environments.
- Delivered cloud platforms for healthcare or another highly regulated industry (finance, insurance, pharma, government), with specific controls you can point to.
- Deep Terraform and Infrastructure as Code experience, including reusable modules.
- Solid, hands-on AWS across VPC, EC2,



ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudFront, Route 53, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, WAF, KMS, and Secrets Manager.
- CI/CD pipelines built in Bitbucket Pipelines.
- Extensive Docker and containerized deployment experience.
- Solid networking: DNS, load balancing, SSL/TLS, firewalls, and cloud security.
- Designed highly available, fault-tolerant, scalable platforms, with monitoring and observability in production.
- Able to work independently from design through production with minimal supervision.

Preferred

- Explicit HIPAA, PHIPA, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 control implementation.
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional.
- Kubernetes (EKS) and container orchestration at scale.
- SaaS platform experience, ideally supporting AI or LLM workloads.
- Vulnerability management, penetration-test remediation, and security automation.

Is this the right role for you? Solid fit: you have personally built a secure AWS platform for a regulated client, written the Terraform and the Bitbucket pipelines yourself, and can walk through the KMS, GuardDuty, and audit controls you implemented.

Weaker fit: your experience is mostly operating someone else's platform, mostly Azure or GCP, or mostly architecture and advisory without recent hands-on delivery.

Pay: $60.00-$70.00 per hour

Expected hours: No more than 40.0 per week
